Parallel mechanisms are used increasingly often as modular subsystem units in various
robots and man-machine interfaces for their superior stiffness, payload-to-weight ratio and …

In recent years the robotics field has witnessed an interesting new trend. Several companies
started the production of service robots whose aim is to cooperate with humans. The robots …

Humanoid sex robots seem to challenge the human–machine distinction because one way
to engage with them is to entertain the illusion that they are human and appropriate for …

This article provides a detailed comparative analysis of five orientational, two degrees of
freedom (DOF) mechanisms whose envisioned application is the wrist of the iCub humanoid …

In this paper, laboratory experiments of LARMbot torso V1 are reported in the third mode,
thereby providing a testing characterization. Sensors were used to measure parameters …
